  "Caught in our mortal nature  a nd its web of pains and sorrows,  veiled by ignorance,  always missing the essence. Know the truth, and the truth shall set you free!" Odilia Carmen Life often feels like a web of struggles, veiling us from the deeper essence of truth. Our pain and longing pull us into patterns of distraction, yet within lies a silent call—the eternal truth waiting to be known. The Veil of Illusion To be human is to face the visible and the invisible, the fleeting and the eternal. The veils of ignorance blind us to who we truly are, chaining us to shadows of fear and desire. But truth remains, untouched by the storms of life, calling us to awaken. "Caught in our mortal nature and its web of pains and sorrows, We weave illusions, veiled by ignorance, tethered to shadows. Chasing reflections in a restless sea, Always yearning, yet never touching the essence of infinity. The light of knowing sets the captive free, Opening the gates to boundless reality....

Authenticity resides in Peace. Peace is to be found in Truth. If we would be seekers of Truth, We would not run after shadows. Forget about money! And forget about purpose! Grand delusions both! Sit in the Present Moment Act from your Inner Nature, Without incentive and motive! That is your place of authenticity! Grace and purpose will follow, Cause will be revealed! May you all Find Truth And Know the Joyous Peace That is Forever Lasting! ...in truth,  OdiliaCarmen

But nearby in the middle of a river was a half-naked man, seated on a rock, fishing with a line. Could this be the man the Emperor thought so highly of? Enquires at the village proved it was. So they returned to the river bank and, as respectfully as they could, attempted to attract the fisherman’s attention.  The hermit waded through the river and stood before the messengers barefoot, arms akimbo. “What is it you want?”  “Honoured sir. His Majesty the Emperor of China, having heard of your wisdom and your holiness has sent us with these gifts. He invites you to accept the post of Prime Minister of the Realm.”  “Prime Minister of the Realm?”  “Yes, respected Sir.”  “Me?”  “Yes, respected sir.”  “Is His Majesty out of his mind...
